Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: I Wasn't Like Mayweather, I Went And Got Every Belt Possible

Ya can't beat a guy that won't fight you

Yea. I think dude wanted to fight in Germany like he was the real champ when Roy had most of the belts, and all of the spotlight. Sometimes you gotta know when you’re the B-Side. But maybe he didn’t want to catch the fade and used location and money as an excuse. Oh well.... seems like nobody remembers the mfer anyway except for you and me. So he got what he deserved.

He's not.........

The subject came up so he made an opinion on it.

End of story

His answers shows he was hurt, different ways of answering a question.... End of

I really don't want to insult the people here, but you remind me why I avoided this part of the forum. Point to something that I have said that is not something a fighter is born with ?

Boxing technique maybe? lol

Look nvm, i can't make you understand the sport. Is Floyd gifted? Certainly. He's fast, has very good reflexes and has even proven to take a punch too. But the things he does are done based on preparation and a LONG, LONG time in the gym to perfect it. If you know Floyd like you should as a fan, you would know that he was literally boxing in diapers. Literally!

Hard work! Dedication! (Not natural ability)

Again, you are not saying anything. In literary argument we call that ad hominem. You tend to want to come at me, because you are inept to deal with my argument. Bro, sit your a.ss down. Been following boxing since the 80s. Who are you??

The things I mentioned were IQ, Stamina, chin and athleticism. Those are god's gifts in making a talented boxer.Those are things you can't really trained in a person. Roy has only stamina and athleticism.

Roy, like Floyd, also started at a young age. It is documented that Roy started at 6 years of age. Floyd is the all around better talent. I never mentioned anything about technique being included in talent. Floyd's biggest asset is to adapt. That is something Roy has proven that he can't do. It shows a master IQ in Floyd. It also takes a high IQ to learn technique and apply them accurately and effectively.

Roy was riding on pure athleticism. Roy wouldn't slip a punch, but rather leap away from it. He didn't pick his shots, but shoeshine a lot off mere speed and quickness. When his athleticism left him he became a sitting duck.
